Top 3 Military Surplus Items for Budget Backpackers!

#MilitarySurplus #BudgetBackpacking

Backpacking season is right around the corner (unless you are like me, and it never really ended!) Lots of backpackers are looking at upgrading their gear and trying to get more value for their money. Here are three of my favorite pieces of military surplus gear that are as good or better than the brand name commercial stuff!

Growing up camping, hunting, and fishing with my dad that’s a Vietnam Veteran military surplus has always been first choice for most of our gear.

I absolutely love my gorka. I originally bought it for the look, and I still wear it in the winter. But it's excellent on the trail. The fit is amazing. You're literally wearing pajamas that you can roll on the ground in. It's super comfy. It's also big enough for easy layering if you want to use it as a hardshell. I haven't tested it out in rain yet. Still a bit worried about that. They did get soaked when I was trudging through the snow, but nothing that killed the comfort. Some people will waterproof their gorkas themselves. Haven't tried that but thinking about it.

The best fleece you can get is the Austrian military fleece, has zips under armpits and is elasticated around waist and wrists

A 4 season tent is the ICS. And the PUFFY set level 7 winter layers. So the tent and Puffy you can sleep anywhere any season.

Great video and some valid points, military surplus is good gear! Speaking of backpacking, military surplus packs would work good too.

I'll be looking for one of the green fleeces. Thanks for the heads up.
I have 3 gorkas, 2 are Bars, they are by far better than the no name yellow camo one I have. I recommend them to anyone needing a great hard-wearing suit. I'll be getting another this next year that's fleece lined by Bars.
One piece of gear I recommend is the Soviet veshmoshock pack. No frills, lightweight, tough, great day pack.

Honestly the Buffalo jacket is solid, is the ucp and the ocp jacket is the same thing

surplus for the win! i have a "cold weather shirt" (70% wool ? ) and it is warm enough for me plus it is really sturdy. another thing that i own is a pair belleville hot weather boots. really beaten up but their composite toe ( not sure but it seems to be ) and speed lacing has saved my feet numerous times from getting a sprained ankle. thank you for the video and for the advise!!!! love the content!

Those waffle tops (what I've always heard them called) are amazing. They work so well.

Couldn’t agree more. Add the black polertec full zip goes for 30-40 bucks new. Awesome. And the woodland gortex rain jacket and bivy.

My brother was in. The forces as well and this what he used

There is a Denmark brand called Endurance, which makes these ‘waffle’ shirts. I bought one two years ago in Norway for about 25 euros. Its holding up very well, I take it with me whenever I go camping. That, to me, is great value!
